International Business Support Office

Many activities so far resemble the activities of Netherlands Business Support Offices (NBSO). Whereas NBSO are set up by the Ministry of Economic Affairs (via NL Agency) specifically to support Dutch businesses in their international activities, our approach is more commercial, making use of public and private.
